Spanish Translation Services 2010-2015

The Department of Education Office of Federal Student Aid established this Master IDIQ for Spanish translation services on September 10, 2010, with a final ordering deadline of September 27, 2015 — the vehicle is closed to new orders and has been inactive for nearly eleven years.

The vehicle procured standard global Spanish translation and quality control on written, electronic, and multimedia materials for federal student aid programs. All ten task orders awarded under the IDIQ were firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $468 to $29,999.93 in ceiling value, with durations typically spanning one fiscal year. The vehicle obligated $141 thousand against a combined potential value of $150 thousand, capturing 94 percent of available value before closure.

Competition concentrated sharply: Trusted Translations, Inc. captured five orders worth $127 thousand in combined potential value, while Elahi Enterprises Inc. held the remaining five orders worth $23 thousand. The two primes split activity evenly by order count but unequally by dollars. Eighty percent of task orders carried a competitive 8(a) set-aside designation; the remaining 20 percent were unrestricted.

Ordering activity remained stable throughout the vehicle's lifecycle, averaging two orders per year from 2010 through 2014. Funding split between two customer agencies within the Department of Education: the Office of Federal Student Aid placed six orders worth $86 thousand in combined potential value, while the Office of Communications and Outreach placed four orders worth $65 thousand. Neither customer dominated the vehicle's activity.

This vehicle is not available for new work. The closure date passed a decade ago; all awarded task orders completed performance and closed out by September 2015. Current BD interest would focus only on understanding the vehicle's role in a predecessor-successor family or evaluating incumbent performance for potential recompete vehicles.
